Re: [Qemu-devel] Internet access from qemu

[André Braga]

This was fixed in the 0.7 series with the addition of keymaps support.

I don't know what's the status of the OpenBSD port of QEMU, but I know
the one from FreeBSD works perfectly as long as you compile it from
the ports collection. You might want to use the port tarball
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/emulators/qemu/qemu.tar.gz?tarball=1)
to see what was needed to compile QEMU under FreeBSD and adapt the
necessary changes to OpenBSD.

I highly recommend this, because AFAICT the 0.6 series are no longer supported.

Best wishes,
André
